THERESA 'S SPINACH SALAD WITH LYCHEE MANGO DRESSING



Theresa 's Spinach Salad With Lychee Mango Dressing image

This is named after my sister Theresa because she left a bunch of lychee' at my house. I ate a couple then thought a dressing made out of these would be really good. And it is! If you never had fresh lychee 's before I highly suggest you give them a try. Just peel the skin and enjoy the juicy fruit. It 's very sweet, refreshing just like her! You can use the rest of the dressing as a really good cold soup or just cut the recipe in 1/2.
